【题目】As a little child,1 was always plump(胖的).In college I started blowing up. It got out of control

when l went to law school.

I'd made a decision a thousand times: I'm going to lose weight now. But what motivated(激发)

me to get serious about it was turning 30.1 weighed 414 pounds.1 was always tired. Some of my

family members have suffered from heart disease, and l was frightened. I also wanted to look better.

So after my birthday,1 walked into the office of a weight loss doctor.

She was very understanding. Her focus was on balanced meals and she wanted me to exercise.

Walking was all I could do at first. I started by walking a few blocks and gradually increased the

distance, until one weekend, I heard myself saying, "Wow, this seems pretty easy." So I started to run.

York City Marathon. For years,1 watched the runners and thought, "This looks like fun, but I could

never do that." But now I realized that maybe I could.I joined the New York Road Runners.I ran a

l0km, then a half marathon.I still wasn't confident I could run a full 26 miles. But I told myself I was

going to do it, no matter what.

By my 33rd birthday,1 was down to 180 pounds. I started formally training for the marathon.

And on the morning of November l, I stood on the Verrazano Bridge in Staten Island with more than

40,000 0ther runners, waiting for the event to start.

It was unbelievable to have the audience cheering me on, handing me cups of water. And I

crossed the finish line. My friends sprayed(向……喷射)me with beer, as if I'd won the Super Bowl.

And at that moment,I knew: If I set my mind to something, nothing is impossible.

【题目】Dear Ms. Wang,

I am writing to inform you of some arrangements about my composition course and Latin course next year.

I’ve decided to re-establish the 5-paragraph essay as the goal for the composition course. I interviewed some of my former students and they all agreed that being able to write critically and continuouslywas important to them.

So next academic year, Term 1 will be like always: sentences to paragraphing. And Term 2 will work toward the 5-paragraph essay. The final 3 weeks of Term 2 will be reserved tointroduce writing for TOEFL and CEE. By that time, if the students have done their job correctly, then they should be able to write quite well.

As for the Latin course, I will post notices around campus next week so that the students will understand what’s on offer before I actually introduce the course. A number of students already emailed me about the course.

I am sure you don’t understand what a big deal our opening this program at our school is. People around the world are interested in what we plan to do. There are many rewards available to the students who succeed in the course. Please share what I have said with the administration. I want them to understand the importance of this course. The reason I have contacted these colleagues (actually Oxford contacted me) isthatI have confidence in our students and in myself. I know that when those professors meet our students and hear them speaking and reading Latin, they are going to be amazed. It will open all sorts of doors for students that they never even thought of knocking on.

Well, that’s it for now. I’ll see you soon.

Yours,

Edward Johnson

Scientific evidence supports that journaling (or keeping diaries) provides unexpected benefits. The act of writing accesses your left brain, which is analytical and rational.
